Among the prominent men of this township, we must not fail to mention H. P. Scofield, a resident on section 5. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio on the 28th of March, 1846. He came with his brother, H. T. Scofield to this county, settled in Grand River Township, where he owns one hundred and eighty acres of nicely cultivated land, an orchard of one hundred bearing trees, and owns a fine lot of cattle and hogs. He was appointed postmaster in 1877 of Arbor Hill, which position he held six years; has been township assessor, clerk, and secretary of the school board. Mr. Scofield was married on April 3, 1872, to Miss Sarah Pryor, a daughter of S. W. Pryor. They have been blessed with four children—Frank D., Eva M., Benjamin and Charles C. By fair and honest dealings, Mr. Scofield is highly respected by his many friends.
